Katrina McKelvey (text) and Deb Hudson (illustrator), My heart, EK Books, March 2024, RRP $24.99 (hbk), ISBN 9781761047640
Beautifully illustrated, My heart opens with a mother embracing her baby. I especially love the spread where the children ‘whirled and twirled in mixed-up outfits …’ The author brings out the moving moments of raising a child and makes ‘my heart’ smile. The picture books traverses early childhood from ‘When I found out you were coming …’ to the first day of school. ‘Now, as you put on your shoes and walk out the door …’
It is a keepsake picture book, especially for mothers as they remember the good moments of raising their baby.
It is a very pink book with hearts everywhere. Well, it is called ‘My heart’ and it is a book that revels in a mother’s heart and that matters.
We always have to celebrate the arrival of a baby and this book does that.
Suitable for ages 4-8
Highly recommended.
